Two weeks ago I had a crown placed on a premolar. I initially had tightness discomfort with the crown, but thankfully it now feels almost normal.
However, a new problem has arisen with my bite. When I bite down now, my bottom front teeth slightly touch the back of my upper front teeth. When I wake in the morning, my front teeth feel sore. I assume I am biting down or clenching my teeth when I sleep. I never had this problem of my front teeth touching before getting the crown.
Could the crown on the premolar be causing my top and bottom front teeth to touch now? I understand I could go back and ask the crown to be shaved down a bit to adjust the bite, but I am scared the dentist might attempt to do something to my front teeth, which I don't want him to do because they are in great condition and I never had any work done on them. Could anyone tell me if this is common or if it has an easy fix?
